String name = console.readLine("What is your name "); StriOutput a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using a single statement. It should look like this: ng pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a verb "); console.printf("%s is very %s", name, pastTenseVerb);

Multiple.java
String name = console.readLine("What is your name   ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a verb  ");
console.printf("%s is very %s", name, pastTenseVerb);

The last part of the code challenge is looking for a very specific sentence so the code that will pass is...

String name = console.readLine("What is your name   ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a verb  ");
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);

Only difference is the text in the last line. You got all the hard stuff on your own so no worries. :D
